Better today. I was still up 5 times during the night. Second night in row. I am trying to the steps, but I am sure I am still far off. I got 292 days. I have no desire to drink.But my emotions are still all screwed up. I am praying several times a day. I just want to be HAPPY.

Therapy has helped me so much with sorting out my emotions throughout sobriety. It can be intimidating at first but well worth it…Also have you tried journaling? That is a great way to express yourself and get those feelings out. On rough days you can go back and read entries from happier days to remind yourself that you have so much to be grateful for.
I have started a little bit.

What really helped me is I got help from a therapist and my psychiatrist. Definitely seek help from both as they will guide you in the path to be happy!! You CAN be happy. Pain is always temporary.

Finish your steps. That’s been the difference between sober and miserable and sober and happy for me.
I can relate, Bill. I have been trying to find a new therapist as mine moved into another role. I hope things get better for ya!
